Ahman's fumble

[FavreChild]

I dunno, I could see Morency doing well behind a decent line. He was good at OSU (oklahoma state) when he put up comparable stats to Tatum Bell.

You're kidding, right? The Big 12 ain't the NFL, my friend. It aint even the Big 10.

Yes, that fumble was frustrating. Fortunately, our D was able to render the mistake inconsequential. This time.

Although the defense leaves much to be desired, they are coming up with big plays, including, sometimes, the creation of turnovers. Yep, fumbles happen. We just have to win the turnover battle. Plain and simple. Without those two fumbles today, we crush the Lions. But we still squeezed out a win. Can't fret too much about that.

I am dead serious. Tatum Bell is a solid back in the NFL. Morency I foresee being a very similiar back. They both dance around the line more than their coaches would like in the ZBS, which is why they're not starting (though he wouldn't be starting over green anyway, but thats why he didn't start in Texas).

Morency was a third round pick last year. I don't want to look it up but he was like the 8th running back selected in a pretty decent class iirc. I predict he will be a solid #2 and kick returner next year. He's a good scat back.

I think the point Harvey is trying to make is that this fumble was uncharacteristic of Green. If so I agree cuz when you watch the replay you will see it is not like most of his fumbles where the ball pops out while grinding for more yards. He was just being straight up careless with the ball. Didnt even bother to tuck it in. Not his style.

If the lions had scored and went on to win.....

They showed McCarthy on TV after the fumble, saying how unhappy he must be, and I suppose hoping for a scene of him throwing a clipboard in the ground.

I was so glad to see McCarthy keep his cool, and just encourage the defense. Shit happens, got to encourage your players not to panic.

I can't believe none of you are not calling for fat head here that was inexcusable playcalling take a knee kick a field goal with 9 seconds left win the game MM should be fined 500000 for being a moron that being said Green and that fucking loser Herron need to protect the football.

You're assuming that the kick is not blocked and returned for a TD. Things happen on any given play Playing for the field goal could have backfired as well. The playcalling is not inexcusable because just about every HC would have done the same. Unless the clock can run out, HC don't take knees.

Ahman was running hard because he knew a first down was a pretty heavy blow to the Lions. I agree with Mad that he was careless. The ball was tucked high and tight but he let his elbow come up and exposed the underneath of the ball. A lion got his helmet under it and the ball popped out.

Thank goodness Bubba was heads up on the tackle to limit the damage.

I agree with HH that MM went right to his defense and calmly challenged them to win the game. He stayed cool when it would have been easy to send waves of panic Karma rolling through the ranks.

Like Brett with his TD's and Picks, Ahman wins for us far more than he loses for us. Cut him some slack and send him through an hour of fumble drills.
